Jeff Heimbuch – Senior Editor

Jeff Heimbuch was born and raise on the East Coast, but currently calls SoCal his home. He’s been a fan of horror ever since he accidentally bought a VHS copy of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 at his local K-Mart at the age of 7. Aside from giving him nightmares, it awoken a love of all things that go bump in the night that continues to this day. Since then, he’s made numerous horror films of his own, experienced countless haunts, and always checks under the bed before falling asleep. He enjoys every aspect of horror, and can’t imagine his life without it. His favorite horror films are The Evil Dead films, The Shining, and Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (shut up, it’s a good movie).
